Tesla Model 3 Window Tinting
Denver, Colorado
The Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling electric vehicle in Colorado — and one of the vehicles that benefits most from professional window tinting. With its large glass roof, frameless door windows, and expansive rear windshield, the Model 3 exposes passengers to significant solar heat gain and UV radiation, especially at Denver's 5,280-foot elevation where UV intensity is approximately 25% stronger than at sea level.
Colorado sees over 300 days of sunshine per year, making ceramic window tint not just a luxury but a practical necessity for Model 3 owners. Our premium ceramic films block up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays, reducing cabin temperatures by up to 20°F and protecting your interior from fading.
Why the Model 3 Needs Professional Tinting
Frameless Door Windows
The Model 3's frameless doors require precise installation techniques. The glass retracts slightly when the door opens, meaning the tint must be perfectly aligned to avoid peeling or bubbling at the edges.
Large Glass Roof
The Model 3's panoramic glass roof spans nearly the entire cabin, letting in massive amounts of solar energy. A ceramic tint on the roof dramatically reduces heat and glare while preserving the open, airy feel.
Sensor Compatibility
The Model 3 uses cameras and ultrasonic sensors around the vehicle for Autopilot and safety features. Our ceramic films are non-metallic and verified to work without interfering with any Tesla sensors.
Range Preservation
By blocking infrared heat before it enters the cabin, tinted windows reduce the load on your Model 3's climate system. Less AC usage means more range per charge — especially important on long Colorado road trips.

What VLT should I get for my Model 3 in Colorado?+

For rear windows, you can go as dark as 5% (limo tint). Learn more about Colorado tint laws.
